How it works

Casting it triggers a 1.5 sec global cooldown.

Devour Magic is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dispel (effect type 38). Its base value is 1.
  2. Effect 2 is Heal (effect type 10). Its base value is 4.

What it does

Devour Magic is a Shadow spell with an instant cast and a range of 30 yards. When cast it dispels effects and heals (base value 4).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
